So I used to work as an SDET, so when given the opportunity I like to see if I can break software (or at least get away with something I shouldn’t be able to).
Issue: I was able to interact with the portal while dead, allowing me to reach the monolith completion zone (with the chest, Annya, Ragnar, etc.), and when I spawned there I didn’t lose my chain, and I was able to open the reward chest.
Starting scenario: had a monolith chain of 8 timelines conquered. Started my 9th.
I reached the boss
I killed the boss
the boss lightning explosion upon death instantly killed me, graying the screen and showing the respawn button
I waited on that screen for some small amount of time, at most 3 seconds, probably less
The Spawn Portal pop up appeared, I decided to click it to see what would happen
The portal appeared next to my corpse
I clicked on the portal
A loading screen appeared, surprisingly. I was not expecting to be able to interact with it with the Respawn overlay there
After appearing in the monolith completion area with the reward chest, I could only click Respawn, so I did that
My character got up on the spot and was not teleported away, so I was able to open the chest and interact with the monolith, showing that the chain was still in progress (with 9 completed zones now).
Expected behaviour:
a) I should not be able to spawn the monolith completion portal while dead
b) I should not be able to interact with the monolith completion portal while dead
c) I should not be able to resurrect in the monolith completion area; I should be teleported back to the end of time.
Please let me know if you need any more info, thanks!
i have also been able to replicate this bug today, i was looking for where to submit it when i found this post, i died in a monolith run and while i was dead my minions completed the objective, while dead the popup to open the portal appeared so i clicked on it and a portal opened near me. I then clicked on the portal and was brought to the inbetween zone, my chain remains intact and for some reason monsters have ceased spawning in further monolith zones unless they are part of the objective allowing me to run right to the end of each zone and complete the objective and recieve the reward chest. Possibly due to the same bug i can not pick up gold or health potions right now.
update
i earned a arena key while it was bugged so i ran the arena to see if i still couldn’t pick up gold and health pots, i did one wave and it was still bugged but i was able to fix it by leaving the game and re choosing the same character.
I was able to replicate this bug tonight. While dead on monolith boss, my minions killed him, all the loot popped out, then I was able to click portal, and portal back to end zone. I popped the chest(which kept my chain intact), and was able to loot everything except the gold. I spawned another Monolith run, and there were no monsters at all except the end boss. I ran all the way to the end boss & killed him, and was able to loot all his loot except gold(didn’t try potions since I was full on them).
